Forests support livelihoods directly for over over 1.6 billion people, including around 350 million people living in or near dense forests who use forest resources for income and subsistence. People living near forested areas often have limited access to markets, and thus can be even more dependent on forest livelihood sources. This is particularly true for women who may rely for up to half of their income on forests, and thus require secure access and use rights to these resources.
